Our Housing lawyers have a wealth of experience in housing practice, covering the public and private sectors. Our team consists of dedicated specialists who meet the legal needs of our clients, including traditional core property work and housing management advice.

Social housing

Our Social Housing team advise Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) and local authorities on all aspects of housing management. This includes allocations, anti-social behaviour, neighbour disputes, assignation and repair and maintenance – which includes the ‘right to repair’ and compensation for alterations and improvements.

Property & development

Our lawyers give advice to our clients on all aspects of the procurement and completion of properties. This includes acquisition and site set up, construction, planning and the environment.

We have significant experience in practical and legal issues. We will assist you in achieving the goals of the development programme.

Eviction & arrears

Eviction is always a last resort. We can give advice on what steps should be taken in order to avoid eviction.

Pursuing eviction on grounds of recovery, including anti-social behaviour, criminal conviction, succession, false statements or information, is core to what the team does on a daily basis.

We can help with:

• Claims for dilapidations
• Damages actions
